Trist left the casino dejected, the frustration he had just felt and his spirits were sluggish.

Listening to the noise and laughter around him, he understood at this moment that the joys and sorrows of human beings are not the same.

"Ugh." He sighed heavily, turned and stepped into the alley.

Penniless, he didn't know where he was going tonight.

He's a big spender, so he's never saved anything.

And after learning the lessons of the past, he couldn't win a lot from the table.

People are naturally jealous, and they will not allow a 'big winner' to walk out of the casino unharmed.

Today, I will also lose all my living expenses for the next period of time.

That's right.

As a skilled card master.

Trist was short of money.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but sigh again: "When will such a day be the end." ”

He kind of missed the old days, the days when he had unrestrained adventures with that person.

Ever since I was without him, I often seem to fall into this kind of deplorable situation.

As he walked into the alley, the noise faded away, and the sparse moonlight spread into the alley, and Trist stopped, a special card slipped from his sleeve, and his eyes were vigilant at the red-haired woman in front of him.

"Do you think it's your fast casting, or my bullets?"

The corners of Sarah's mouth went up, and she glanced at Trist, "I haven't seen you for so long, it seems that you don't mix well." ”

Trist found that she didn't seem to have malicious intentions, at least not as she had done last time.

It's not the first time the two have met, the last time they met, it was the other party who came to hunt him down as a bounty hunter.

Seeing the other party's awesomeness, Trist suppressed the idea of urging the card ability to escape. smiled unhurriedly: "Miss Doom is still as beautiful and moving as last time, but I don't know how much reward I can be worth now?" ”

"Relax, I'm not here to catch you this time."

Sarah raised her two hands, which were empty, and then she said, "Instead, I came to you with a big list." ”

"Me? Why me? Trist asked as he returned the cards in his hand to his sleeve.

"Because you are one of the few who have escaped from me. With your special ability, only you can do this. ”

Sarah smiled faintly.

Her words still made Trist a little complacent, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously hooked, boasting: "That's true, there is no place in the entire Runeterras that can trap me. Tell me, what do you want me to do? ”

"I like your assertiveness, I want you to sneak into Planck's warehouse in two days, steal a dagger and give it to me."

Sarah didn't ink either, and spoke directly.

Her words fell, but the smile on Trist's face froze, and he smiled wryly: "If I heard me right, you mean Planck?" ”

Sarah nodded, "There is no one in the whole of Bilgewater who has the same name as him." ”

"No kidding, that guy isn't easy to provoke, my little body can't stand his revenge." Trist took a step back, shaking his head.

"Is there anything else in this world that you don't dare to do?" Sarah raised an eyebrow at him, then chuckled, "You might as well hear about the pay." ”

Trist waited quietly for what he was expecting.

That's right, is there anything else in this world that he doesn't dare to do?

It's just that the price is not in place.

Although Planck is indeed not easy to provoke, he Trist is not in vain.

As a once beautiful Jiangyang thief, stealing things is his real professional counterpart.

"I've inquired, this dagger is from the work of everyone in Noxus, and it's worth a lot of money."

Sarah said very calmly, and when she saw Trist's eyes lit up, she laughed, "But no one in the whole of Bilgewater dared to eat it." But I dare, I have already found a reason for the customer who bought this dagger, and then I can share half of your remuneration, three thousand gold coins. ”

"Three thousand?" Trist breathed and felt his beating heart, telling his heartbeat.

Three thousand gold coins were enough for him to spend for a long time, and he hadn't seen so much money in a long time.

And what about Planck?

Wait until you steal it yourself and get the money. When he found out, he had already sailed to the continent of Valoran.

This order can be accepted!

Immediately, Trist's heart made a judgment.

Seeing that he had made a decision, Sarah continued: "When you steal something, come to me immediately, pay for it with one hand and deliver it with the other." After receiving the money, you can leave as much as possible, which is a deposit. ”

As she spoke, she threw out a rather heavy bag.

Trist subconsciously caught it, and without counting it, he could feel that there were at least two hundred gold coins in it.

"How can you be sure that I won't take these two hundred gold coins and run?"

"Unless you never go back to Bilgewater. Moreover, you are clearly not such a short-sighted person. ”

Sarah smiled calmly.

"You see people quite accurately." The smile on Trist's face was also a little more meaningful, and he asked, "In two days, when the things are in hand, where can I find you?" ”

"The butcher's bridge is not seen or dispersed."

Sarah turned and walked away, and the figure quickly disappeared at the end of the alley.

And Trist felt the weight of the money bag in his hand again, and it seemed that he was about to say goodbye to the embarrassing daily life.

No way, this money came at a good time, and it was a price he couldn't refuse.

Leave the alley.

Sarah soon saw Lu Qi waiting not far away, and the smile on her face was much more natural: "Good job, I didn't expect you to really win his money." ”

Lu Qi glanced at her: "You didn't plan to do this in the first place?" ”

"Who said that? I believe in you, and if you don't win his money, he won't be so easy. ”

Sarah winked at Luki, as innocent as a simple and kind little girl.

"Okay, then I can count as living up to your trust." Lu Qi yawned lightly, "What are your arrangements next?" ”

"Next, let's wait for the show to start in two days."

Sarah's eyes flickered, and they were unusually bright at night.

Time flies, and two days have passed.

When night falls, the whole of Bilgewater is still lit up, and the harbour wharf is even more lively.

Juarez's ship quickly docked, and after getting off the ship, he didn't stop for a moment, and sped straight towards Planck's Abyss.

His concubine, on the other hand, got off the boat after him, and her face was pale as if she had encountered something frightened, and hurriedly followed Juarez.

Something happened!

Something is wrong!

At this moment, she had only one thought in her mind, and she could not even dream of it.

Planck's treasure island has been stolen!

On board the Abyss, the crew was still in a revelry, and the three days of revelry had kept their spirits in a frenzy, and the barrels were opened one barrel after another.

In addition, there are also gang members who belong to Planck, such as the Iron Hook Gang, the Flower Face Gang, and the Sharp Knife Gang, all of which are well-known gangs on Blue Flame Island.

One of the most notorious of them is the Iron Hook Gang, known as Planck's die-hard lackey, who does not do evil and takes pleasure in killing.

Juarez hurriedly boarded the ship, not even responding to the greetings of the crew, and went straight to Planck's captain's room.

This made the crew wonder why Juarez was in such a hurry.

And can Juarez not be in a hurry, he can't imagine what will happen to Planck when he learns about it, let alone what will happen to him if he hides it.

"Captain, Captain! Something is wrong! ”

Pushing open the door to the captain's quarters, Juarez chanted loudly, no louder than the revelry outside.

In the captain's room, Planck was peeling oranges to eat, and when he saw Juarez's panicked appearance, his cold eyes looked at him.

Juarez swallowed, he really didn't know how to speak, he found Marsilie, who was following behind, closed the door, thought about it, and still stubbornly said: "The treasures of the island. All stolen! ”

As soon as the words fell, there was a 'poof', and the orange that Planck was holding in one hand was pinched on the spot, and the juice of the pulp spilled all over the ground.

His eagle-like gaze became as cold as an iceberg: "What did you say?" ”

Juarez knelt on the ground, not even daring to raise his head, so he had to repeat: "All the treasures, gone!" ”

Marsilie, who followed her, almost knelt on the ground and cried: "We went to the island and prepared to hide in the lake with the chest, but there was no reaction for a long time, so we sent someone into the water to check, and all the treasure chests were gone!" ”

The more she spoke, the more she felt the temperature in the room drop.

Cautiously raising his head, he saw Planck's thin and cold gaze, in which endless anger swelled.

His expression was still calm and indifferent, but she knew very well that the anger in the captain's heart had already ignited at this moment.

Planck stood up and asked in a cold voice, "What about Crewe?" ”

It was a guardian beast he had worked so hard to find, and its strength was outstanding, and the idlers used to only deliver food.

With it, even if the island is discovered, how can the treasure chest be lost?

Juarez hurriedly replied: "Crewe has also disappeared, there is no shadow of it in the lake at all, and we will not come out no matter how we call it." ”

Marsily said confidently: "It must be, escaped."

"the fart!" The anger in Planck's chest could no longer be suppressed, and he slapped his palm on the table, and cracks appeared directly on the table, "Crewe was raised by Lao Tzu since he was a child, and he can't drive it away, how can he escape!" However, it is not excluded that someone led it away. ”

He didn't roar, just suppressed his voice, which seemed low and grim.

Marsily was so frightened that she trembled and almost cried.

"Speaking of which, captain, I was in the lake and found this"

Juarez hurriedly got up and handed over a playing card.

The card is a little larger than usual, and the material is special, with a peculiar pattern engraved on the back, which is obviously not made of ordinary paper.

Planck took the playing cards and looked left and right, his eyes gloomy.

Juarez and Marsilie, both of whom he trusted, did not have the guts to deceive themselves.

At this time, Marsilie's voice trembled and said, "Captain, I have an impression of this card."

"Say." Planck's gaze immediately turned to him.

"Billgewater has had a couple of more bounties lately, and one of them is the owner of this card, which is supposed to be a guy named Trist. He was very good at stealing, so he offended several people and offered a reward for his arrest. And at the crime scene, it was his handwriting to leave his own cards. ”

Marsilie hurriedly told everything she knew.

As soon as she said this, Juarez was also impressed.

In contrast to Planck, who doesn't pay attention to Bilgewater's nobodies, he usually only cares if his bounty on the bounty list has become higher again.

But unlike them, they will always pay attention to the contents of the bounty list.

He had indeed seen this Triste's bounty.

"Trist, this shit offal." Planck crumpled the cards in his hand, and his cold eyes swelled with anger.

"Find me! Be sure to find him! I want him to be crushed and ashes scattered! ”

He gritted his teeth word by word, as if chewing the anger in his chest.

Never one!

No one has ever dared to provoke him so arrogantly!

Rat Town.

This is Planck's territory, and it is also the territory of the Iron Ditch Gang, which is equivalent to his base, and is known as the forbidden land of Bilgewater.

Anyone who trespasses here will hardly even be interrogated, and will do it directly.

The notorious Iron Ditch Gang takes pleasure in killing, and even though some of them go to the revelry at the docks, they still leave some members to patrol.

In a dark corner, enduring the stench from everywhere, Tristra lowered the brim of her hat.

He's not a good fighter, and he doesn't usually go head-to-head with some brutal and mean guys.

Before that, he had already stepped on the dot and had already found the location of the main warehouse.

Stealing something and leaving, there is a great risk of being discovered, but it's good not to be discovered.

When a few members of the Iron Ditch Gang who were patrolling not far away walked away, Trist immediately launched an operation.

The moon sank into the clouds, and shadows covered the entire dock. Huge crates are haphazardly piled up all over the harbor, making them excellent cover for stealth.

There are several figures carrying crossbows on the roof of the main warehouse, which are supposed to be night sentry. But they were chatting with open voices, as loud as scolding the street. Even if I ran all the way with bells all over my body, these idiots couldn't hear them.

Trist sneered to himself, leaning close to the window of the large warehouse and looking inside.

There are also small warehouses in large warehouses, each of which stores different things, and that dagger is in one of them.

After observation, he already knew which one it was, but the problem now was that the door of each warehouse was guarded by the guards of the Iron Ditch Gang.

But this didn't bother him.

A card bounced from his sleeve into his hand, flipping briskly back and forth between Trist's fingers. He's practiced the craft as naturally as breathing.

It was an unusually easy step.

As the cards began to light up, Trist let go of his mind and let his spirit drift away. Countless images began to appear in front of his eyes, and a huge sense of oppression followed, almost pinning him to the ground.

With his eyes half-closed, he concentrated and found his destination in the layers of images.

A familiar agitation suddenly hit my heart. The figure shook, and a frenzied light and shadow were fleeting. Trist was already standing in the warehouse.

It was swarthy, and nothing could be seen, and the person guarding outside didn't even know that someone had come in.

The arm shook, and another card appeared between Trist's fingers, glowing faintly and barely illuminating the surroundings.

And he successfully found his goal this time, and opened the box in front of him, and on the black velvet base, lay a beautifully cast dagger.

"Simple."

With a laugh in his heart, Trist reached out and planned to take the thing away.

"Kaden—"

Trist froze in place, and he heard a familiar sound, like a shotgun opening a safety bolt.

He moved the card forward a little, revealing the muzzles of two black holes, and he already had a strong premonition in his heart at this moment.

"Trist, long time no see."

A familiar voice came out, low and hoarse.

As the card lifted, his playful face was revealed, so familiar, but with some vicissitudes.

Graves.

Someone he will never forget.

The memories of the dust flashed quickly through his mind.

He had been a close partner with Graves, known as the Bandits of Runeterra, who had tracked the coastal towns of the Northeast and beyond.

Every time you go out of the world, every time you rob a big robbery, every time you hide from the world. They threw everyone around.

Until one time, their good fortune all along, ran out.

Graves is captured alive by the enforcers, and Trist has no choice but to leave him behind to protect himself.

It is later learned that Graves was thrown into the prison "safe", which is terrifying to the inmates, and Trist tried many ways to get him out.

In the end, I had to give up and began to travel from place to place.

This distinction has been going on for years.

And over the years, Graves has endured inhumane torture in the safe, and he hates indescribably just thinking of this guy who abandoned him and even betrayed him outside.

"Malcolm, how long have you been standing here?" Trist smiled in surprise.

It wasn't pretentious, and he didn't even have a hint of fear in his eyes.

"Less nonsense, I'll just ask you one question, why?"

Graves was fierce in his eyes, and raised his shotgun to the stinky face in front of him.

"Why do you have a gun? Old friends meet, not to. Trist still had an unhurried smile on his face, and his voice was soft like that of a person who had fallen asleep.

As if he hadn't heard, Graves looked at him coldly: "Tell me, why did you run away by yourself at that time?" Ten years, do you know how I got over the past ten years! ”

He roared in a low voice, his eyes as wide as brass bells, mixed with anger and hatred.

"Listen, Malcolm, I'm glad to see you again. But neither the occasion nor the time is the time to chat. ”

Trist had a smile on his face, or it never went away.

"Don't call me that!" Graves continued to growl, as if he had lost his mind, "Malcolm is dead, you chose!" Why did you betray me in the first place? How much they give you! ”

Trist took a deep breath: "Why do you think that, you know the situation but now is not the time to talk about this. ”

His fingers moved.

Even after so many years of separation, Graves was still the one who knew him best, and he knew very well that this guy was about to use those cards to escape.

So, after a card appeared on Trist's fingertips, Graves did not hesitate to pull the trigger.

"Bang!"

A sudden, clear gunshot rang out, and bullets blasted through the card to smithereens, nearly reaching Trist's hand.

"Idiot!" Trist screamed and shouted hysterically, "You're going to bring everyone in!" Do you know whose territory this shit place is?! ”

"You think I care about that?" Graves reloaded the bullet, "If you knew what I was doing in prison, you would especially understand how I feel right now. ”

"I understand your sister, idiot!"

Trist simply convinced this guy who only had one tendon in his head.

He watched as the door to the warehouse was pushed open, and at least a dozen members of the Iron Ditch Gang rushed in shouting.

He had been trying to appease the unstable factor, but it turned out to be as bad as he had thought at first.

He had expected it, but he still had an unrealistic illusion.

Now his illusions are shattered, this guy never thinks with his head, and it hasn't changed at all since ten years ago!
